Higher Penalties for Export Violations and a More Aggressive Enforcement Climate… Is Your Export Compliance Program Current and Effective?

Export enforcement is becoming more aggressive in all stages and following the March 9, 2006 reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act and the fivefold increase in penalties and extended prison terms under the IEEPA, the stakes for companies facing export enforcement actions have increased dramatically. Companies engaging in international business must be vigilant about preventing, detecting and investigating potential export control violations before they damage corporate reputations, affect the bottom line and shareholder value, and result in criminal convictions, prison terms and millions of dollars in civil and criminal penalties.

The publication from the American Conference Institute "National Forum on Export Enforcement and Investigations" is a collection of presentations from an exceptional faculty of top business, legal and government officials who will provide you with practical information on how to defend your case and mitigate export control violations. Highlights from the publication include:

How to defend against a deemed export civil penalty proceeding or criminal prosecution
